Covering The Outfield's "Your Love," jj gets candlelit and intimate in this video recorded in a sauna. The sauna explains the make-up, no?
Dig out your winter clothes because you are going to be feeling that chilly air a lot this season. Get ready to get in the car, bus or train to head to shows with Avey Tare, Mister Heavenly, Boots Electric, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, The Rapture, Holy Ghost!, CANT and The Field .

Get a slow funky groove on with the latest from Ford & Lopatin , "No Disguise." Though not as dense as their debut on our site , this track is still a jewel as far as 80s-throwback electronica goes. Stream it below and don't forget to grab June's Channel Pressure . GAMES - No Disguise by Ford & Lopatin (via Stereogum )
NPR knows how to start a Monday. Kick off your work week with streams of Ryan Adam's Ashes & Fire , DJ Shadow's The Less You Know The Better , and while you may have already caught Zola Jesus' forthcoming album Conatus on stream last week, you can also hear its entirety on NPR .

Bjork plays a stomach harp while eclipsed by a waning and waxing moon in her video for Biophilia's "Moon." The album has been pushed back, so expect it out October 11!
It was an extra muggy night and a packed house for Thursday's show at Great Scott. These were not exactly ideal conditions for the predominantly bearded and flannel-clad audience. Fortunately, everyone seemed willing to deal with some sweaty discomfort for the sake of seeing Brown Bird and their two openers. They were rewarded with a stunning and, at times, incredibly moving show. melophobe favorite Mister Sister took the stage first. Starting off the performance a cappella, lead singer Amelia Emmet captivated the audience and [...]
There's very little softness on the latest cut from The Soft Moon , but your ears need a little aural workout from time to time. Enjoy the title track from their Total Decay EP that comes out at the end of October. An autumnal release seems fitting as Luis Vasquez and band have taken a direction that offers more shadows, a tonal shift from what we heard on their self-titled debut album. We're excited to catch them in Boston next week, part of an east coast tour supporting Mogwai . Catch them for a show that [...]
Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox returns as Atlas Sound for his forthcoming album, Parallax . It's out November 8, but you can hear his latest single from the LP, "Modern Aquatic Nightsongs" below. (via P4k )
We've got a lot of love for Annie Clark's latest album as St. Vincent , Strange Mercy , and the more we can get of her the better. So it's exciting news that she will be teaming up with comedy duo Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein on their sketch parody show Portlandia . Thanks to her interview with Exclaim! , we know her inclusion got started when she "heard from them in the past month or so, when I was out in L.A., and they said [...]
It must be tough to find good fits to open for tUnE-yArDs now that Merrell Garbus et. al. have made the leap to sellout headliners. tUnE-yArDs' music shares little kinship with prevailing indie rock tropes, and not just because Garbus doesn't bother with guitars, or that she doesn't bother with a stringency of structure. Other bands may be composing poems (if they're lucky). Garbus is, in a very particular sense, writing sonnets. So perhaps Prussia were as good a pairing as one can expect. A bunch of boys with guitars, they did [...]
Hello, hello my lovelies! Welcome back to more collections of videos from previous weeks, with this Friday's picks getting a little abstract with Is Tropical, Wise Blood and My Brightest Diamond .

Get led astray by origami in Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's abstractly-themed video for "Maniac." Hooray! They brought it back to life with sparklers and mud dancing!
Radiation City's forthcoming album The Hands That Take You is coming out September 27, but Portlanders get a chance to experience their new music live this coming Saturday, September 24 at Doug Fir. Sway and shimmy to their earthy tones and MoTown vibe as seen in the above track, "The Color of Industry." And while this is a minimalist acoustic session, get a feel for Radiation City's energy with their rooftop performance of "LA Beach." See ya Saturday, suckers!
After getting our blood pumping at MFNW, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are back to get you hyped for their fall tour with "Make the Money." Sticking with his theme of genuine introspection, Macklemore spits about staying true to yourself and keeping up your self-esteem while also getting washed up in the tidal wave of fame. Get down to the beat while checking out their gigs below. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis 2011 Tour Dates: 11/04 Olympia, WA @ Capitol Theater 11/16 Bellingham, WA @ Mt. Baker [...]
Nevermind turned 20 this year, and people all over are commemorating the occasion in their own special ways. Previously we told you about how "A Brief History of Rebellion" is playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" 144 different ways live , and now you can take another live experience with you that celebrates Nirvana's sophomore album. Last night, Deertick briefly changed their name to Deervana and played an entire set of covers at Northside Festival. Done previously at SXSW and Bonnaroo, this show was rumored to be the [...]
Asobi Seksu pair fire and ice with erogenous zones in their video for "Perfectly Crystal." The misty layering of images is dizzying, but overall pretty as a cupcake.

You can stream and download the former here and stream the latter below. Keep your eyes peeled for future shows! "Dead Wrong" [...]
In light of the closing of Levi's Film Workshop, No Age teamed up with the international pants company to make a video for "Inflorescence" full of cowboys, art, making out, Mariachi music and Levi's. It's NSFW if your boss doesn't like two guys showing some love.
